Cheyenne & Green River Rrd
Author: Bob3985

This weekend the Sherman Hill Model Railroad Club received a locomotive, three covered hoppers and a caboose lettered for the home road on our mall layout for the "Cheyenne & Green River Railroad". More locomotives and cars are in the shops awaiting paint and lettering. This layout was a portion of the former Denver, Greeley and Tahoe created by Dave Trussell of the Greeley Freight Station/ Colorado Model Railroad Museum. Much more to follow.

The attack of the "Foamer" photographers has appeared on the C&GR RRD and here is one of the shutterbugs taking flash photos of the trains passing him. Enjoy.

I like the patch job on the NRE genset and finally, a railroad with an honest slogan!

I am still trying to adjust to the puffy cheeked jackalope mascot. That signifies a bouncy ride across the prairies?

What is the car immediately behind the tender in the video? Resembles a European box car. Like the "B" unit as 'mid-train helper'

That is my personal train and one day I saw a Maerklin car at a train show and it was for my favorite bier (since I am of German descent). So I bought it and put my mind on this project and found that a Roundhouse ore car metal frame fits perfectly under the Bier car and I converted to HO/US to run on my trains. Now being a retired engineer, the bier car always goes directly behind the locomotive. Thanks for noticing.

That truck in the scene is the Maintenance crew's and the photographers hiked in. True dedication for sure.
